nets were used prior to the appearance of practical wing shooting firearms

But the Setter breed was developed before the shotgun (edit - took out "became practical" and added "was used") was used for upland hunting.

Trapping is the most efficient way of harvesting quail and pheasant.

My apologies to Mr. Romig for going off-topic. I won't sin no more (here).
